Hope someone can answer this. I had been running BOINC 6.6.36 with Lunatics' optimized (using the unified installer) aps. This week, I upgraded to BOINC 6.10.18. do I need to re-install the optimed aps via the unified installer? Thanks in advance for your help. Rick
You shouldn't need to. Always worth keeping an eye on things for a few hours or days after an upgrade, but if you don't notice any changes (such as a big slowdown in task progress), all should be OK. Have a look at the running processes, using Task Manager: if you see names including strings like AK_V8, all is as it should be.
There's one exception: if you were running the 32-bit version of BOINC, but forget and upgrade using the 64-bit version (or
vice versa), and don't adjust the installation paths manually, BOINC won't find your existing applications and tasks. You'll know all about it if that happens, because BOINC will prompt you to attach to projects all over again. If you see an 'attach to project' wizard after upgrading:
STOP, uninstall, and do it again with the right version and the right directory locations. But if BOINC just quietly gets on with its business after the upgrade, you won't need to do anything else.
